Woodley were disappointed to come away from the Triangle with only a point as they drew with Henley in the first local derby of the Hellenic Division 1 East season.

The away side had plenty of chances to win the game over the 90 minutes, but Henley cancelled out a first half Tom Williams goal to equalise soon after the break.

As the tackles flew in, the referee was not afraid to dish out the yellows, but it was Woodley who pressed in the early stages.

In fact, they had a claim for a penalty in the first minute after an apparant handball in the box.

Woodley created the first clear opening as Tom Williams was put through by man-of-the-match Rob Morley, but Williams’ shot was well blocked by Henley keeper David Lyons.

Henley gradually got into the game and keeper Imram Cooke-Chowdhary twice smothered shots before watching a Tom Archbold effort strike the base of the post.

With the game now a very open contest, Woodley made the breakthrough as a corner caused chaos in the six yard box and and Williams scored from close range.

Henley started the second half on top, attacking with intent, and drew level on 68 minutes as Woodley failed to clear a free-kick and the ball fell to the unmarked Alex Allen 10 yards out to calmly score.

Henley was buoyed by the goal and Woodley defended well before searching for the winner.

Dan Jewell fired over, Luke Williams, who was becoming more influential as the half progressed, stung the palms of Lyons with a left footed drive with Tom Williams unable to convert the loose ball.

Woodley were disappointed to loose their 100-per-cent record, but they remain unbeaten and welcome Finchampstead to East Park Farm for their first home game on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
